Again a huge litmus test for this team. Going into Foxborough and getting a win would be huge for the playoff push. The ravens always play for the pats tough and suggs seems to place his best against Brady.
The secondary is vastly improved from the 2014 team that got torched in the AFCCG.

It will be a close game but il say 31-28 Ravens (because what kind of fan picks against his team) on a Justin Tucker Game winner

This is definitely a winnable game if we play similar to Sunday just gone (although not a must win as we can still claim the division regardless of what PIT do if we win our last 3 games).

In our offense's favour is the fact that the Pats pass defense isn't that good (25th ranked DVOA according to Football Outsiders for example) that seems to have been somewhat masked by facing a number of terrible offenses (CLE, LA, HOU, NYJ, SF). If the OL holds up again and we see good Flacco, I think we can have success by picking on Logan Ryan (who has been terrible this year) and trying to stay away from Malcolm Butler.

What's our poison between Shareece Wright and Powers? Hogan/Mitchell will go off on one of them.

Leave Hogan to Powers imo (I don't rate Wright)

On defense, I think we should mostly have Jimmy on Mitchell, Young on Edelman and then just hope that the others can keep Hogan and Bennett relatively quiet

I agree having young on Edelman, then Jimmy can,cover whoever is the hot Hand. It will be tough stopping dion Lewis out of the backfield as I see a,lot of passes,going his,way with gronkids out

I can be the pessimist most of the year, but not against Patriots, hate those guys.

We pick them apart across the middle, Pitta has another great day, Patriots regret they traded Jamie Collins, Mike Wallace score 1 long touchdown down the sideline, the awkward athlete pills off another big run across the middle, and terrance West is the bulldozer the entire 4. quarter which puts us up with a TD, Brady tries to make the comeback, but Suggs being the ugly mofo he is put a stop to that when he sacks Brady. Brady of course cries and yells for a flag, but he doesn't get it. He goes home and have fun with his model wife and bathe in money and the salty tears of Rex Ryan and the rest of the NFL. Brady still wins, the world sucks, the we only have 5 hours of daylight in Denmark atm.

It sure would be nice to have just 1 more competent corner.

It's tough to predict an outright win, but they've got a chance here. Flacco and the OL need to show up in the fashion they did last week. I'm pretty confident in what to expect from the rest of the squad.

Not bad. Yanda should be fine and the other three aren't missed. Gillmore is a bit because he's a decent weapon in the passing game but with Pitta taking most of the snaps in that role there isn't much leftover. And then Boyle is the best blocking tight end on the team so...

It would stille be nice to line up in a run heavy formation with both Gillmore and Boule at TE, and then let Gillmore work down the middle as an option. We had succes with him in that role in his first seasons._________________Ravens 2017 feat. Flaccid Flaccos speedsters and Dean Peas softies

Yup, Boyle has made more of a difference than I thought in the blocking aspect of th game, he's picked up guys that Pitta would normally get ran over by. Gillmore would be nice to have for sure, he's a solid blocker as well._________________
